Frequently asked questions

How many hectares are in one square meter?

1 m² equals 0.0001 ha.

How do I convert square meters to hectares?

Multiply the value by 0.0001. For example, 10 m² equals 0.001 ha.

How do I convert back from hectares to square meters?

1 ha equals 10,000 m². The converter above works in both directions, so you can type into either field.
